Walmart

I have been around alot of the forums and whenever somebody gets their permit somebody always says "Good go get nachos at Walmart and order a Pretzel"? Am I missing something where did this orginate from and whats the meaning?

The point is that there is a lot of people at Wal-Mart. To get yourself familar with carrying in a busy place what is better than Wal-Mart. You will quickly realize that no one notices that you are carrying

Once you are legally allowed to carry a concealed weapon, put on your rig and go to Wal-Mart.

It's the quickest place you can get to and there is always a multitude of people around. After jumping through all of the hoops that CCW permit holders have to go through and, in most cases the long wait, the first thing you'll want to do is strap on that holster and head out the front door.

The nachos are a little reward for the trip. The closest super Wally world to me has a Blimpie's but nachos are available.

You are also doing something WalMart does not allow, they have a nation wide policy against CCW. So when you do this it is like spitting in their face.
I hate WalMart so it makes me laugh every time I do it. The worst thing they can do is ask me to leave, oh well. I do not buy anything from them period.

Thank you for contacting Wal-Mart regarding our concealed handgun policy. Wal-Mart was founded by Sam Walton on three basic principles. Strive for Excellance, Service to our Customers, and Respect for the Individual. It is that respect for the individual that led us to create the current policy pertaining to concealed handguns.

The following is our policy......If a Wal-Mart customer has been awarded a concealed handgun license by the state government, Wal-Mart will follow the direction of the state. However, if at anytime while on Wal-Mart property, that customer's concealed weapon becomes visible to Wal-Mart associates or customers, Wal-Mart reserves the right to ask the customer to either reposition the weapon so that it will not be visible, to remove the weapon completely or to leave Wal-Mart property, With the exception of law enforcement personnel, Wal-Mart does not allow any exposed weapons to be worn or carried in public view on Wal-Mart property or in Wal-Mart stores. Customers other than law enforcement personnel wearing or carrying a weapon in an exposed manner will be asked to leave the property immediately.

We appreciate your concern and trust that this message has addressed your concerns regarding this issue.

Thank you,

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

Does not sound totaly against carry to me. Are you aware of anything more current?

No way. Walmart does not forbid concealed carry. They will in some stores ask you to leave if you open carry. It might upset other customers. At least that's the policy in any Walmart I have ever been in.

That's it. That's the deal. A plus is so many of the people there are completely oblivious to their surroundings, it gives you a chance to people watch as you realize nobody is staring at you and your gun that they really can't see.
